  17.      The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d__c_a_n_c_e_l() function requests that the thread identified by
  18.      _t_h_r_e_a_d be cancelled.  Cancellation state [see _p_t_h_r_e_a_d__s_e_t_c_a_n_c_e_l_s_t_a_t_e()]
  19.      and type [see _p_t_h_r_e_a_d__s_e_t_c_a_n_c_e_l_t_y_p_e()] determine whether the request is
  20.      acted upon immediately or at some time in the future; _p_t_h_r_e_a_d__c_a_n_c_e_l()
  21.      does not wait, it merely issues the request.  When _t_h_r_e_a_d does act on the
  22.      request, it will terminate as if it had called _p_t_h_r_e_a_d__e_x_i_t() with a
